Any subsequent changes to that initial signage shall be made at Tenant’s expense in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Lease. |
2. | Monument Signage. Section III.H of the First Amendment to Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the foregoing shall be substituted in lieu thereof: |
“Monument Signage. Provided Tenant is leasing and occupying in excess of 17,000 rentable square feet in the Building during the Term, Tenant shall have the right to install non-exclusive signage on one (1) slot on one (1) of the Building monument signs for the Project as mutually agreed upon by the parties, which signage shall consist only of the name “5 Arch Group, LLC.” The type, location and design of such signage shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord and the City of Irvine, and shall be consistent with Landlord's signage criteria for the Project.

Tenant understands and agrees that it shall use Landlord’s designated contractor for installing the monument signage.

Except for the foregoing, no sign, advertisement or notice visible from the exterior of the Premises shall be inscribed, painted or affixed by Tenant on any part of the Premises without prior consent of Landlord. Tenant’s signage right shall belong solely to 5 Arch Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and may not be transferred or assigned (except in connection with an assignment of this Lease to an Affiliate as described in Section 9.2 of the Lease) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion. In the event Tenant, exclusive of any subtenant(s), fails to occupy the entire Premises, then Tenant shall, within 30 days following notice from Landlord, remove the monument signage at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall also remove such signage promptly following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Any such removal shall be at Tenant’s sole expense, and Tenant shall
bear the cost of any resulting repairs to the monument that are reasonably necessary due to the removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant understands and acknowledges that Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, revoke Tenant's right to the monument signage, and to require the removal thereof by Tenant, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, in the event Landlord requires the monument signage for a third party tenant leasing a full floor or more in the Project; provided, however, that in the event Tenant leases in excess of 21,000 rentable square feet in the Project, then the foregoing right shall be void.

F. | California Certified Access Specialist Inspection.

Pursuant to Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby provides the following notification to Tenant: "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law.

prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction related accessibility standards within the premises." If Tenant requests to perform a CASp inspection of the Premises, Tenant shall, at its cost, retain a CASp approved by Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate the CASp, at Landlord’s option) to perform the inspection of the Premises at a time agreed upon by the parties. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any report or certificate issued by the CASp (the "CASp Report") and Tenant shall, at its cost, promptly complete any modifications necessary to correct violations of construction related accessibility standards identified in the CASp Report, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease. Tenant agrees to keep the information in the CASp Report confidential except as necessary for the Tenant to complete such modifications.
G. | Attorneys’ Fees. The provisions of the Lease respecting payment of attorneys’ fees shall also apply to this Amendment. |
H. | Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. Tenant acknowledges that the content of this Amendment and any related documents are confidential information.
